AT&T says hacker stole some data from 'nearly all' wireless customers
AT&T has announced that the company believes a hacker stole records of calls and texts from nearly all of AT&T’s wireless customers, according to a financial filing from the company. “The data does not contain the content of calls or texts, personal information such as Social Security numbers, dates of birth, or other personally identifiable information,” AT&T said in their statement released early Friday morning. “These records identify the telephone numbers with which an AT&T or MVNO wireless number interacted during these periods, including telephone numbers of AT&T wireline customers and customers of other carriers, counts of those interactions, and aggregate call duration for a day or month.” AT&T says it has taken “additional cybersecurity measures” in response to this incident including closing off the point of unlawful access. AT&T confirmed that it will provide notice to its current and former impacted customers.
How zoos in the hottest parts of the country keep animals healthy during extreme heat
Animals are perhaps more readily equipped than humans to deal with extreme heat. But when the heat index climbs into the triple digits, accredited zoos in the hottest parts of the country are still tasked with ensuring that animals – and their human counterparts who come to visit – are staying safe in the scorching temperatures. The Association of Zoo and Aquariums sets species-related heat guidelines for facilities to follow once temperatures begin to rise. "We definitely need to monitor all of them to make sure that they are thermal regulating appropriately and that they're comfortable, especially in the hot summer months," Kelly Trotto, associate curator of behavioral husbandry at Florida's ZooTampa, told ABC News. One of the main components of zoo heat safety is housing primarily those animals that have adapted to regularly occurring extreme heat in their natural environments, zookeepers told ABC News.

At least seven cities, including Las Vegas, Phoenix and Salt Lake City, broke or tied their all-time temperature records on Wednesday and several cities were poised to set new daily high-temperature marks on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Frustration grows as Houston's power outage goes into 4th sweltering day
More than a million electrical customers in Houston remained without power amid sweltering weather on Thursday and most won't have their power restored until the end of this weekend, a full week after Hurricane Beryl swept in and damaged the energy grid, officials said. Many Houston residents and elected leaders said they were losing their patience with the main utility company in the area, CenterPoint Energy, accusing the company of being slow in restoring electricity. "I'm not in the business of grading. I'm in the business of saying, 'Let's get it done.' We demand that they do better," Houston Mayor John Whitmire said of CenterPoint Energy during a news conference Wednesday. CenterPoint Energy said Wednesday night that of the almost 2.3 million customers who lost power when Beryl came ashore early Monday as a Category 1 hurricane, about a million have had their power restored.
